Sorry for the comparative lack of posts here. I have been (slowly) making some cosmetic changes to the website. Nothing drastic but hopefully I haven’t broken anything and the site is a little easier to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. If you do find anything not working, please let me know! I hope to have some […]
I have been meaning to write something about this pickup for a long time now – it has been in my US Std partscaster since January. I have a Tonerider Hot Classic in my Esquire #1 and I am very happy with it. I decided to sell the Keystones in my US Std partscaster and […]
Following on from the superglue method of building up tuner holes to fit press in bushes, here is another method that works for both press in bushes for vintage style tuners and any modern tuners. Tools that you need: ruler, heavy duty scissors, pencil and an aluminium can. The tin snips (centre) are total overkill […]
We have had quite a run on our hipshot style hardtail bridge, no doubt due to its suitability as a drop in replacement on the Mexican La Cabronitas. We have a hardware order shipping at the end of March (including at least one cool new exclusive to Axecaster product), but due to the popularity we […]
EDIT>>I consider this method to be obsolete now – a much simpler, cleaner and non-destructive method is to use sleeves around the bush. You can find the write-up here. Here is a quick guide for an easy way to fix oversized tuner holes so push in bushes fit nice and snug. I would suggest doing […]
The first of the new products to be put into use on one of my guitars is a 500k linear* push/push pot. I have been waiting for these to arrive to use on my La Cabronita S1 switch alternative wiring. The functionality/layout is identical to the push/pull pots with the added benefit of being easier […]
The La Cabronita model introduced by Fender in August has been quite a hit, which is no surprise. A very cool looking and sounding guitar that a lot of players have been lusting after for a while. However there are a few things that can be done to improve it for minimal outlay. I’ve already […]
I assume that the blog has become a target for spambots due to the La Cabronita S1 switch alternate wiring post being linked on a few forums/blogs. This is great, as I am obviously getting some traffic from actual human beings from the links. It’s not so great that I’m getting 100+ spam comments a […]
The Fender American Standard Telecaster is a great guitar (pre-belly cut 2012 models, anyway!) but it has a bridge that is not compatible with vintage bridge plates. It has narrower string spacing and therefore different through hole locations. The changed string spacing can be attributed to a more modern playing style I guess – less […]
